Not What I Meant By A Green Salad

What an eBay employee found in her salad from the company cafeteria. I'm not sure if this is better or worse than the legally-renowned snail in the ginger beer.

[Legal nitpick: this would be a much more straightforward matter than that case if taken to court as the salad was evidently prepared on the premises by the caterer, who therefore owed an immediate duty of care to the poor soul buying it. The key point at issue in Donoghue v Stephenson was whether a manufacturer owed such a duty to a remote end-user who had no immediate contract of sale; in answering 'yes', the House of Lords revolutionised the law of negligence with far-reaching effects.]

In most US canteens and cafes these days, salads are preprepared and placed in see-through plastic containers to be shipped to the retailers.

As I remember it D v. S was later said to hinge on the fact that there hadn't been a snail in the bottle anyway.
